House passes Senate bill, 219-212

From NBC's Mark Murray and Shawna ThomasIn a historic vote, the U.S. House of Representatives late this evening passed the Senate health-care bill. After securing the needed 216 votes, Democrats broke out into a "Yes we can" chant.

*** UPDATE*** The final vote tally was 219-212. Thirty-four Democrats voted against the bill, and no Republicans -- including Joseph Cao -- voted for it.

Next, the House will consider a GOP effort to recommit the reconciliation "fixes" to the Senate bill.

Then -- about 25 minuts later -- the House will vote on those reconcilation fixes.
